Touker Time!

He’s been given the grey colour scheme with cold grey 1, cold grey 4 and black.  The cold grey 1 was already on its last legs but even if in peak condition would probably have been too light so I went over all the cold grey 1 with cold grey 2 and things ended up looking so much better.  I also had to reach for the white gel pen after screwing up and not leaving a white highlight on Touker’s chin.  I also added white gel pen marks on top of some of the white highlights I’d left in his glasses, just so the chin highlight wasn’t alone.

I thought Touker would be the most difficult dragon to draw but he was ridiculously easy and a lot of fun.  Maybe he’s like this in real life too, much more fun than people think.

Anyway, if I try to ignore the gel pen marks, I’m liking this one.  There’s a likeness there.  Not perfect and I could probably do better with a bit of work but this isn’t about perfection: it’s about seeing where the Artist Assist App can get me.  And these six portraits together are going to be better than the sum of the parts.

I made a late start today (housework day) and haven’t been for my walk yet, so this may turn out to be a one portrait day.
